black and Fail to Start fault will be displayed.   
7)  In case of successful crank attempt, the “Safety On” timer is activated, allowing Low 
Oil  Pressure,  High  Temperature,  Under  speed,  Charge  Alternator  Failure  and 
Auxiliary inputs (configured) to stabilise without triggering the fault. As soon as this 
delay is over, “start idle” delay is initiated (if configured). 
8)  During  “start  idle”  delay,  under speed, under frequency,  under  voltage alarms  are 
inhibited. When this delay is over, “warming up” delay is initiated (if configured). 
9)  After  the  “warming  up”  delay,  if  generator  status  is  normal,  its  indicator  will  be 
illuminated. If generator voltage and frequency have reached on-load requirements, 
then the generator close relay will be energized; genset will take load; generator 
power indicator will illuminate and generator will enter into Normal Running status. If 
voltage or frequency is abnormal, the controller will initiate shutdown alarm (alarm 
information will be displayed on LCD). 
Auto Stop Sequence, 
1)  HGM420:  During  normal  running  process,  if  mains  normal,  enters  into  “Mains 
Normal Delay”. When mains indicator illuminates, “Stop Delay” is initiated. 
2)  HGM410: When the “Remote Start” signal is removed, the Stop Delay is initiated. 
3)  Once this “stop delay” has expired, the Generator Breaker will open and the “Cooling 
Delay”  is  then  initiated.  After  “Transfer  Delay”,  the  mains  close  relay  will  be 
energized; mains will take load; generator power indicator will extinguish while mains 
power indicator will illuminate.   
4)  During “Stop Idle” Delay (if configured), idle relay is energized.   
5)  “ETS Solenoid Hold” begins, ETS relay is energized while fuel relay is de-energized. 
6)  "Fail to Stop Delay" begins, complete stop is detected automatically. 
7)  Generator is placed into its standby mode after its complete stop. Otherwise, fail to 
stop alarm is initiated and the corresponding alarm information is displayed on LCD. 
4.4  MANUAL START/STOP OPERATION 
1)  HGM420: Manual mode is selected by pressing the    button; a LED besides the 
button will illuminate to confirm the operation; Press key, select “Mode Select”, 
then choose “Test Mode”. Under the two modes, press button to start the genset, 
it can automatically judge crank success and accelerate to high speed running. If high 
temperature, low oil pressure, over speed and abnormal voltage occur during genset
